Alexander Tcherpokov was born in Sofia. In 2006 he graduated from the American University in Bulgaria in business administration, and he took his law degree at New Bulgarian University, graduating with honours as a Master of Laws in 2010. He has been a member of the Sofia Bar Association since 2012.

For more than a decade he has been part of the team at Interius — one of Bulgaria's first private law firms, whose lawyers helped set up the country's first commercial companies, banks and insurers, worked on privatisation transactions and drafted legislation. He also works in close cooperation with the law firm Borisov & Borisov.

He represents clients before every jurisdiction in Bulgaria, including the Supreme Court of Cassation, the Supreme Administrative Court, the Competition Protection Commission, the Consumer Protection Commission and arbitral tribunals. He works with partner lawyers in most regional cities and abroad — in the United States, Germany and Italy — and assists with disputes involving counterparties from China and India.
